The Ashes 2013- Australia in England

[NoName]

That was some serious BD/Pak style batting collapse.

still got some good pacers, not much in the way of batsmen i will admit, though i think warner could be really good.

Somehow there just seems to be a lack of good batsmen in Australia. It's been for a while now. Australia's bowling has honestly been better than England's this Ashes. It's just the batting that hasn't been good enough.

Obviously Clarke is a class player in the lineup. Warner is also a guy that's been good for Australia in all forms. Rogers has been a nice addition to the Test side. The problems seem to be with the rest of the batting lineup. The #3 slot has been a problem for quite a while. Marsh has been doing great in the A team, maybe he should be given another chance in there. I feel Hughes could succeed there if given a run but he's been inconsistent in his chances. Khawaja and Cowan have been disappointing and really haven't done much in their chances.

Down the batting order, I feel Maxwell is a player that could be given a chance knowing how he's got the aggressive edge to his batting which could help this batting lineup. Watto hasn't been the greatest in Tests but I feel he's the best allrounder in the country and even in Tests you need 1 allrounder at least. Finally I feel Haddin needs to go. Don't see why the management and ex players love him so much. Wade was doing fine and is a whole lot younger. I feel he should be back.

Khawaja & WAtson should be dropped, ekkhoni
Bring back Agarkar in place of any one of them.

Bevan as well, I know he played a few tests and didn't average that great with the bat but he was selected as a second spinner for a lot of his test career, averaged 57 in FC cricket and 60 in Aussie domestic cricket.

Aaron Finch is going mental on England's butt. 96*/41 so far in the first T20I.

[AsifTheManRahman]

Finch is about to break a world record: http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/con...ds/284262.html

This is assault. How much longer before he gets charged with murder?

[AsifTheManRahman]

Everything is going for six.

[Warrior868]

197-2
15.4 overs

[Warrior868]

[AsifTheManRahman]

Finch will probably go past 150. 200 might be out of reach though.

[Warrior868]
